I liked Perkins in the tournament. I thought his story came off as super-organic and heart-warming. I mean, you weren't getting Ibushi or ZSJ, so it doesn't make sense to put the belt on either one of them. Once it's down to Perkins or Metalik -- fuck, I think Metalik is the better choice, really.

I didn't hate Perkins winning though. I thought he came off as a super-likable babyface. But then he showed up on RAW. The video game stuff and not being able to handle the weird booking did crush him. It was just never going to work that way. They probably should have gone with Perkins, just put him on SmackDown and have Kendrick attack him as a bitter heel that lost his last opportunity as greatness. Bryan's friendship with Kendrick would have added drama. Slowly introduce these personalities and let them get over before you give them a show and their own belt.
